ABSTRACT
In the last four pages of A Collection of Certain Letters and Conferences are printed some criteria on the true and false churches. Although these had not been printed previously, they had been formulated and circulated in manuscript before November, 1588. These criteria were also refuted about three months later by Richard Alison, in “A Short Answere unto Certaine Arguments Which. Are Used by the Brownists, to Prove the Church of England Not to Be the True Church of God,” printed in A Plaine Confutation, pp. 121-129 [139].
